Ocean Prime hosts ‘prime time’ networking event

Just as TV networks were launching their new fall lineups, Ocean Prime at Aventura Mall hosted a “prime time” networker starring talented under-45 Aventura Young Professionals invited to build business during a luncheon even more thrilling than the season debut of The Event.

AYP chair Jeff Levinson of Sabadell United Bank joined by Ocean Prime general manager Greg Sage and executive chef Jason Shelley helped welcome a great cast of guests gathered at the modern American supper club perfect for singles, couples and the Modern Family.

For providing a great excuse to get out of The Office for a power lunch, teams from the Office of Dr. Richard Galitz, Costco, ASAP Services, Seo4anyone.com, FastCare, Make-A-Wish Foundation and attorney Mark J. Lynn also applauded Ocean Prime’s signature salads, sandwiches and lunch features like Crab Crusted Blue Tilapia.

While exchanging business cards, AYP members from Total Bank, Oral Facial Complete Care, Stern Bloom Media, Prudential, EWM Realty, Chariff Realty and Paychex noted Ocean Prime is the perfect place for corporate functions and milestone social events like How I Met Your Mother. Two private dining rooms can accommodate seating for up to 35 guests with special banquet menus and available audio visual services.

When it was time for the door prize drawing, it only took a Minute to Win It when lucky Silvia Icaza of Prudential Florida Realty received a $75 Ocean Prime gift certificate. Then, the unanimous pledge was to come back soon with an Entourage for a pleasurable Ocean Prime dining experience or “The Prime Hour” in the lounge Monday- Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. featuring delicious appetizers, wines by the glass and handcrafted cocktails.

Before the luncheon was over, AYP members gave Ocean Prime the highest ratings while being tempted to indulge in chocolate peanut butter pie and blueberry lemon cheesecake – definitely worth the few extra pounds it might add to Grey’s Anatomy.
